Re: THEE NYG SWAG THREAD

[quote user="Morehead State"]

I need an explaination from the league on that horrific jennings non reversal.* The Osi hit was a terrible call obviously but that was an opinion on the field.* The Jennings play was reviewed and was clearly, without any argument a fumble.</P>

This play is the reason the league has instant replay.* How on earth could this poor excuse for a referee not make the right call?</P>[/quote]I would like one as well. I felt sick to my stomach when they scored on that drive.

[/quote]Disturbing to say the least, that an nfl official could blow that call. I have to assume that the refs have as many replay camera angles as we see on tv, if not more from their in stadium cameras. There was no grey area at all with that fumble. Makes me wonder sometimes. The league wanted Green Bay to move on? Just like in the past, the refs get away with it. I wrote earlier that there should be a ref report card or scoring system. If there are too many marginal/questionable calls on a ref-then they should have to undergo additonal training/schooling and absolutely be denied the opportunity to ref in playoff games.[/quote]</P>

The officials in the Replay Booth have access to all of the views available from the network covering the game whether they are shown to the home audience or not. They get no additional views and there are no views that are off limits. Prior to the Referee going “under the hood,” the Replay Official (Al Hynes, an ex-official and NFL Supervisor with over 30 years of officiating experience, in Sunday’s Giants – Packers game) and the Replay Assistant will rack up all of the views available from the TV truck and take a quick look to see which ones may have a view that can help determine the accuracy of the call on the field.</P>

thats why its inconceavable to me*how they*miss that call... unless*someone in the truck*held back on one of the angles</P>

*</P>[/quote]Potential failure of the truck crew to provide every feed from every angle? I'm sure there is Nfl protocol in place for this. Maybe they need to have a sit down on this one before we go into conference championship weekend?

Re: THEE NYG SWAG THREAD

Regarding the officiating: How does it make a **** bit of difference that the league is considering making the refs full time employees next year. The argument I heard is that then they can be fired? Wtf, they can't fire part time employees the same way?

If it takes the fear of losing your job to make the proper call, then the problem is worse than I thought.
